Midway through the second round, Esther Henseleit of South Africa added 66 to her first-round 69. She shared the lead at nine-under with Spain's Nuria Iturrios, who shot 67-68.
Maguire carded nine birdies and one bogey, completing her evening round by making a 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole under the LED lights set against the glittering Dubai Marina skyline.
Iturrios, the new LET No. 1, is tied-first. Iturrios had clinched her second Lalla Meryem Cut title in four years on Sunday.
