I don't know. but the man page said it would work.
It says

       --try-secret-key name
              For hidden recipients GPG needs to know  the  keys  to  use  for
              trial  decryption.   The  key  set  with --default-key is always
              tried first, but this is  often  not  sufficient.   This  option
              allows  to  set  more  keys  to  be  used  for trial decryption.

But if that doesn't actually work, then
maybe --try-secret-key is needed.
