Zito doesn't need to work anything out, as the horse changed nicely 2 races prior. This horse is a plug. The only thing it has going for it is that Zito has just about the biggest ass around; ass luck is apparently endless for him.

Not that I am on the Ice Box bandwagon, But Giacomo was a plug too and I won a lot of money on him.

Seems to be a good amount of front runners in here too. Front may have decent pace for the plug to run at.
