A further shot back is Victorian Tim Elliott, who carded the round of the day with a 2-under 68.

He is joined by Queenslanders Terry Price and Allan Cooper.

The immaculately presented Richmond layout has brought the best out of the players with the second round cut made at 9-over the card,  four shots lower than last year.
