So I will pass this one and look to see what you others come up with.
Good luck

Pook, or anyone else, if you need a point of comparison between the downhill turf course and a mile race on the grass, here are class pars at the 10k claiming level for each:
SA 6.5
22.03, 44.31, 1:13.44
SA 8 furlongs
47.22, 1:11.12, 1:35.25
They are from commercially available class pars, not hand rolled. Wish I had the time to make my own pars, but sadly, I don't.
