With so many shares to choose from on the ASX, it can be hard to decide which ones to buy. The good news is that brokers across the country are doing a lot of the hard work for you.

Three top ASX shares that leading brokers have named as buys this week are listed below. Here's why they are bullish on them:

Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX: ALL)

According to a note out of Morgan Stanley, its analysts have retained their overweight rating and $43.00 price target on this gaming technology company's shares. This follows news that Aristocrat's real money gaming (RMG) business has signed a deal with BetMGM for digital slot content. BetMGM believes the deal will makes its online casino the best destination for players. Morgan Stanley believes this is a big positive for Aristocrat and its fledgling RMG business. The Aristocrat share price is trading at $35.70 on Monday.

Healthco Healthcare and Wellness REIT (ASX: HCW)

A note out of Morgans reveals that its analysts have retained their add rating on this property company's shares with an improved price target of $2.06. This follows the release of the company's half year results, which revealed a solid operational performance. Morgans appears positive on the future, highlighting its active development pipeline (Springfield and Proxima) and the uncommitted developments which include strategic partners. The Healthco share price is fetching $1.55 today.

Objective Corporation Limited (ASX: OCL)

Analysts at Goldman Sachs have retained their buy rating but trimmed their price target on this software company's shares to $14.80. Although Objective Corp's half year results came in below expectations on both ARR growth and costs/margins, Goldman believes the company has reached an earnings trough after making the decision to reduce its one-off revenue sources and reinvest into growth initiatives. The Objective Corp share price is trading at $12.48 this afternoon.
