Here is an analysis of the TimeWise top two-rated horses in chronological order for the Perth races on Monday, 8th September 2025, along with an assessment of their chances based on the provided sources:

1. 2.10 Auto Services Perth 24 Hour Recovery Novices’ Hurdle (GBB Race)
The top two TimeWise rated horses for this race are Chortal with a Total of 299 and City Of Diamonds (IRE) with a Total of 269.

• Chortal: This four-year-old is penalised for a win in a Bellewstown maiden in April. However, the form of his subsequent defeats reads well, with his latest conqueror described as progressive. The Spotlight Verdict identifies him as having the “best form” and facing an “easier task” in this race.
• City Of Diamonds (IRE): This five-year-old won at Stratford two months ago after wind surgery, flooring the favourite (who has since won). He is penalised for that win and is “perhaps reliant on Chortal underperforming”. The Spotlight Verdict states he “can run well” but considers the main threat to come from Struth, rather than himself directly challenging Chortal.
• Overall Assessment: Chortal appears to be the strong favourite with the best form, while City Of Diamonds (IRE) is a contender but might need a subpar performance from Chortal to win.

2. 2.40 Auto Services Perth Supporting Dundee Bairns Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
The top two TimeWise rated horses are King Roly with a Total of 332 and Lightkeeper (IRE) with a Total of 275.

• King Roly: This six-year-old won over the course and distance (C&D) 23 days ago, appearing to outstay Garde Des Champs. He is “sure to go well again”.
• Lightkeeper (IRE): This seven-year-old finished approximately 8 lengths behind King Roly and Garde Des Champs over C&D last month, and then finished runner-up in a claiming hurdle. He “doesn’t look well handicapped”.
• Overall Assessment: King Roly is a strong contender. The Spotlight Verdict, however, leans towards Garde Des Champs to gain revenge on King Roly, but Lightkeeper (IRE) is not highlighted as a top threat in the detailed analysis.

3. 3.10 Auto Services Perth Commercials Handicap Hurdle
The top two TimeWise rated horses are The Last Cloud (IRE) with a Total of 326 and Break Point with a Total of 304.

• The Last Cloud (IRE): This five-year-old achieved wins over C&D on good ground this summer, impressively winning a maiden and then his handicap debut at 2-1 favourite. Despite an “another 9lb to contend with,” the Spotlight Verdict suggests “that might not stop him” due to his progressive nature.
• Break Point: This five-year-old, a “limited Flat performer,” has shown significant improvement over hurdles, winning a C&D maiden convincingly three weeks ago. He is “probably on a fair mark” and is “feared most” by the Spotlight Verdict, suggesting he will be a strong challenger to The Last Cloud (IRE).
• Overall Assessment: Both horses are strong contenders, with The Last Cloud (IRE) being the primary recommendation and Break Point considered the most significant threat.

4. 3.40 Auto Services Volkswagen Commercials Aftersales Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
The top two TimeWise rated horses are Sean Og (IRE) with a Total of 277 and Wasdell Dundalk (FR) with a Total of 253.

• Sean Og (IRE): This seven-year-old finished fourth in a competitive 2m5f handicap at Cartmel, a race he won the previous year. He “absolutely loves it there and he’s unraced at Perth; might still go well”. He is identified by the Spotlight Verdict as needing “respecting”.
• Wasdell Dundalk (FR): This ten-year-old was “very disappointing last time at Uttoxeter” but was runner-up over C&D in his two previous starts. He is “bidding for a hat-trick in this race” and has “nothing wrong with his mark if back on song”. However, the Spotlight Verdict notes he “does have to bounce back from a wretched run”.
• Overall Assessment: The Spotlight Verdict’s preference is for Hardy Diamond. Both Sean Og (IRE) and Wasdell Dundalk (FR) have potential, but Sean Og’s lack of Perth experience and Wasdell Dundalk’s need to rebound from a poor run introduce some uncertainty.

5. 4.10 Auto Services Peugeot & Citroen Commercials Handicap Hurdle
The top two TimeWise rated horses are Malangen (IRE) with a Total of 255 and Fostered Phil (IRE) with a Total of 248.

• Malangen (IRE): This ten-year-old was “hit hard by the handicapper” after a large win at Market Rasen, but then “did keep on well for second over 2m at Hexham”. His current mark “wouldn’t appear beyond him”. He is the second choice in the Spotlight Verdict.
• Fostered Phil (IRE): This eleven-year-old has a record of “only 1-16” and is described as “vulnerable”. He was beaten a little over 6 lengths in his last two races over fences and hurdles.
• Overall Assessment: The Spotlight Verdict’s marginal preference is for Top Flight Century, but Malangen (IRE) is given a good chance as a second choice. Fostered Phil (IRE) appears to have limited prospects.

6. 4.44 ASP Fiat And Vauxhall Commercial Aftersales Handicap Hurdle
The top two TimeWise rated horses are Spit Spot with a Total of 282 and Themanintheboots (IRE) with a Total of 274.

• Spit Spot: This six-year-old has shown “top form on AW this summer” with wins at Wolverhampton and C&D, and a close second at Wolverhampton. Her last five runs were all positive, and she “promises to be ideally served by today’s step up in distance”. She is the Spotlight Verdict’s “nap” (best bet).
• Themanintheboots (IRE): This seven-year-old had “back-to-back wins over 2m4f/3m here two summers ago”. However, he has been “well below that level this season” and his “latest second was remote”.
• Overall Assessment: Spit Spot is a very strong favourite, highly recommended by the Spotlight Verdict as the best bet for the day. Themanintheboots (IRE) has shown significantly weaker form this season.
