I agree with your inclination. I mean you have to evaluate turf lines for turf races. Now the three horses you mention happen to be pretty good on both surfaces, but this is on the green so use their turf figures to assess their performance levels.
But you can't dismiss dirt efforts when evaluating current condition. Freefourinternet enters off a dirt top and Classic Par essentially paired a dirt top. These performances affect their condition entering today's race.
