(Photo by Scott Barbour/Racing Photos) Tulloch Lodge trainers Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott are counting on their multiple stakes winner, Zoumon, to follow a familiar pattern as he takes on the Listed Ipswich Cup (2150m). The five-year-old boasts an impressive second-up record, with three wins out of five starts and never finishing outside the top four. After an even performance behind Just Folk in the Group 3 Lord Mayor’s Cup (1800m) at Eagle Farm on June 1, Bott is optimistic about Zoumon’s chances of improving significantly, as he has in past campaigns. “He was in need of that run first-up, as he traditionally is,” Bott said. “Second-up, he shows good improvement, and he looks in good shape. “He had a nice tick-over trial in between runs up there and it looks a nice, progressive race for him.” Last winter, Zoumon hit a purple patch of form, achieving a hat-trick of wins in the Listed McKell Cup (2000m), Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m), and Listed Grafton Cup (2350m).
