After clean-sweeping the top spots in July, the punters repeated the dose in August and put the media experts on notice ahead of Spring.

And while it was the pro punters who were leading the way, regular punters also had a good time of it after picking up three of the five cash prizes in the Profit on Turnover (POT) category.

The media experts weren't far behind, with some familiar faces faring well.

We reveal all of August's top performers below.

Best Horse Racing Tipster: Highest Cash Profit

Kicking off with the cash profit category, and bagging the gold was Perth-based pro Asiandaveblue1951.

His August haul amounted to an enormous $12,300 from $100 win bets, thanks to 13 winners at a fat average price of $16.46.

This bloke lives just a stone's throw from Belmont Racecourse, and it was there that he made some big inroads.

On the fifteenth of the month, Asiandaveblue1951 bagged $49 long shot Fa'lion Maschine.

And on the following day, he steered his followers into a $37 pop at Kalgoorlie.

No wonder he soared to the top with tips like these.

Not all that far behind with $10,280 in cash profit from $100 win bets was Syland.

This Cronulla Sharks fan owes his August success to his accuracy, despite an enormous tipping output.

He placed in excess of 2,000 tips over the course of the month, and saw a whopping 359 of them salute .

With a work rate like this, Syland certainly earned his silver medal.

Rounding out the cash profit podium thanks to a very impressive $8,620 was TheMagicMan.

This punter from North Queensland came home with a wet sail in August.

All of his 11 winners saluted in the second half of the month, and included $65.80 shot One For Rocky that got home at Mornington on the 27th.

With an average winner price of $18.47, TheMagicMan's success is down to the juicy value he sniffed out.

This resulted in a 86% POT.

Cracking form.

Just falling short of the podium with a very solid 69% POT was TheMagicMan.

But considering that he nabbed the bronze in the cash profit category, this punter shouldn't be too disappointed.

He's sure to have plenty of fans after this accomplished display of tipping.

The final prize winner for August with a 64% POT was Ochiltwig.

Another Adelaide resident, Ochiltwig owes his August success to consistency.

He tipped 16 winners at an impressive strike rate of 29%.

Best Media Experts by POT

Media Outlet	Tipster	Winning Tips	POT
	Tony Rickards	13	53%
	Alan Pearce	12	40%
	Neil Evans	11	38%
	Colin Hodges	13	38%
	Darren Flindell	14	33%

It was a cracking month from Winning Post, with two of their form analysts taking out the top two spots for media experts.

Leading the way was multi-skilled form analyst Tony Rickards.

The Melbournian saw 13 of his selections get home, at a super strike rate of 31%.

A stellar effort considering the average price of these winners was just a shade under $5.

They say cream rises to the top, and that was certainly the case with Tony Rickards in August.

Also doing great things for Winning Post in August was Alan Pearce.

The Sydney metro form analyst steered his followers into 12 winners, at a juicy average price of $5.23.

With some quality racing scheduled for Sydney in September, Pearce could be the man to help punters find a hefty profit.

However if country racing is more your scene, then look no further than Neil Evans.

The tipster for Racing NSW had a strong month, with 11 of his 30 selections greeting the judge.

This resulted in a handsome 38% POT for everyone who backed Evans' horse racing tips.

Staying in the country NSW jurisdiction, because next up is veteran NSW country race caller Colin Hodges.

Hodges has arguably been the best tipsters of 2020 so far.

He dished up his seventh consecutive monthly profit in August, thanks to 13 winners at an average price of $4.88.

And it's not like he's just scraping a profit either.

A 38% POT is something to get excited about.

The last cab off the rank is Sydney's flagship race caller Darren Flindell.

Flindell secured a 33% POT in August, thanks to 14 winners at an average price of $4.36.

Punters around Australia will be listening closely to his calls during the Sydney Spring Carnival.

The stats say they should also be following his tips too.
