Veteran Scott Hend added a five-under 66 in calm conditions. He had an opening day 64 and is now in lead at 12-under at the halfway point.
Hend, the Asian Tour Order of Merit champion in 2016 and a 10-time winner on the circuit, leads by two strokes over fellow Australians Matthew Griffin, Marcus Fraser and Sam Brazel plus David Hillier and Josh Geary from New Zealand.
