The Stockplace Top End Novice Purse Series was taken out by Philip Curr and Devine with an aggregate score of 411 points and received $800 and a custom-made Dolan Trophy Saddle. The series was a qualifying event with scores accumulated from Cloncurry, Saxby, Winton, Hughenden and Richmond. Normally Julia Creek would be a qualifying venue, however due to the postponement of this draft it excluded them from the points tally.
