Sweden's Peter Malmgren, Elliot Boult from New Zealand, and Finns Mikael Piltz and Pauli Hughes, carded four-under-par 68 on a day of perfect conditions.
But the hard, fast greens proved tricky for the majority of the 144-strong field and only 25 players bettered the par of 72.
The leading quartet are a shot clear of another Finn, Mikko Rantanen, Eric Giraud of France and Italy's Alberto Binaghi with six more players, including three more Italians, on 70.
Peter Lawrie, who is a regular on the Asian Tour, also shot 70, while fellow Irishman Gary Murphy is among a large group on 71 as is Gustavo Rojas of Argentina, currently seventh on the Challenge Tour rankings.
