My limited experience also suggests under-geared is better.
The main exception to this was racing at Bethlem, with the long drags around the fields. I was seriously under-geared there, and then pretty over-geared on the technical twisty stuff. But that was when it's dry, which changes things a lot. In mud, gear down.
