Track day wet grip

I'm a bit curious about how modern radial tyres behave in the wet at track days. I've got Dablos currently fitted on the 888 with lots of tread left but have never ridden the bike on wet roads. Trouble is that also means I've never actually ridden any radial shod bike in the wet (my RG500 has crossplies). I know from experience that my reactions cope OK with the back stepping out on crosspiles but worry a bit that my reaction to chopping the throttle would produce a high side on a wet track. Is that the case as it is (apparently) in the dry? I'm interested to know what sort of feedback you get just in case I happen to do a trackday in the near future and we get some rain :-(
