I think banking on any form - dirt or turf - translating to poly is a losing strategy. It really has to be treated as a third surface and past synth form should be weighted most heavily. But favorites with good dirt form and no synthetic races are a particularly good bet-against at Keeneland. Other than that, it's a good list with a lot of useful info.
