What tyres did you run on the front of your 210 on grass?

When I started racing many moons ago I used to like running the ballistic buggy blue compound in the wet, which seems to be similar to the white compound, as opposed to the softer greens. I thought they gave more grip as the spikes dug in better or they didn't collapse as easy as the greens. Now a days most people seem to prefer the greens in the wet though I think I'd personally stick with a firmer tyre like the whites/blues or even Schumacher greens!
I think the schumacher yellow compound is best once a faint racing line appears, or certainly when the grass gets cut up and starts to disappear but the tyres you have should still be fine. Try and find out what the fastest drivers are using on the day and see what you think.
As for the fronts, it sounds weird but the last time I ran on grass I ran yellow staggered ribs and certainly didn't need any more front grip although some drivers found the opposite and opted for Schuey minis pikes in either the yellow or silver compound (the grass was very worn, to the point of dust in some areas).
Hope this sheds even a little light! Good luck!
