Bland, who led the event after day one with an opening round of 63, is back in a share of the lead with Canadian Kent Eger and looking to win his first event of the 2008 season on the Canadian Tour.

After a brilliant rookie season in 2007 when he won twice on the Canadian Tour, Bland has been twice runner up in 12 starts this season and is currently in 8th position on the 2008 moneylist.

American, John Ellis, a winner of three events this season, and a clear leader on the moneylist, is in 4th place just three shots behind the lead and may yet prove to be Bland’s biggest threat.
