An educated guess is that it's a function of which fields they think will be the least decimated by scratches. Both the 7th and 10th have several "dirt" horses in the respective fields, either in the body of the race or as MTOs and, as a result, are still likely to end up with fields of 8 to 10 horses. The other races would likely draw fewer horses if they took them off the turf.
