If it were only going down to the F#, I wouldn't think it would be an issue. Then ione would jsut use the LH index finger as Ben mentioned.
If you are continuing down the scale, and use the thumb plus the bottom two RH trill keys, in order to facilitate a guick progression to F natural, then it becomes more a matter of coordinating the fingers of the two hands. Time and slow practice are the best way to accomplish this.
One way to help is to play the notes as if there were a rest in between them. Example... you are playing the run using quarter notes. While practicing, insert an eighth rest between each note, and make sure that you are changing your finger positions cleanly during the time of the rests. Gradually work this out, and begin to accelerate a little, while also shortening the length of the rests between notes. Keep working until there is no longer a pause between notes, and then keep increasing he tempo to what you feel is a little faster than you NEED to play the passage.
