i know the gurus like mal and some others probably dont, but do any punters out there have one or more? i never did until recently when i took ernie mannings (unitab) top selection in the last 3 races in perth in a multi, my $2 turned into $150, he got me out of a scrape yesterday as well where i took his last 2 selections and turned $5 into $93, like all of them he does have his lean days but without keeping a list i reckon he does ok, thoughts?

when i was a regular TAB goer - Brass used to give out his selections and he would tip all the shorties, so i didnt bother following him or take any notice

darren flindell was/is the worst, every special he made was no longer than 1/5....i recall that when he was at sky, safooty poster 'hottie' rang sky to complain that all is specials were 1/5 or shorter & the reply was ''he doesn't know what price they'd be when he does his selections'' (hottie can elaborate)....i would have thought any form student would have some idea of what the price would be, otherwise how would they know if it was value or not

I heard some good wraps on Brassel but then I noticed he was a supposed specialist on tracks from all over Australia !!!!
Seriously what could he possibly know about the obscure tracks across the other side of the country like Port Lincoln, Mt Gambier, and the bush tracks in WA etc yet hes touted as an "ëxpert" with inside knowledge at all these places

AGREE
How can anyone be an expert tipping all over the country ?
Stick with tipSTARS who call or follow the one code in the one state

Brassell just looks at the form and a few replays and makes his own assesment. Hell..... anyone can do that if you have the time.
Stick to the locals who watch trials, know trackwork info and speak to the trainers/trackwork riders.
