Having 3 trump is usually enough to order except from R1S3. Of course, it can work, but the probability is against you. BPS is an effective approach to make a better decision:
Up S3
-.25 R1S3 - indicating R1S3 is a very tough order
0.75 Jd, Left
0.50 Qh
0.25 Th
0.50 3 trump
0.25 1 Void in Spades
-.25 Ah Up Card(Ah worth 0.50 - min .25 (ie 9H) = .25)
1.75 vs 2.50 minimum, BPS strongly recommends pass.
____BPS probability estimates that you lose about .5 point, on average ordering this hand. You will be euchred about 53% of the time.

Can you order R1S3? Certainly:

Up S3
2.50 vs. 2.50, this is an edge hand (minimal order). There are many other stronger hands that are good orders.
