Quiles moved on with the top time, joined by Munoz, Vincente Perez (17th) and Dennis Foggia(15th).
Ruche Moodley just missed out, the best of the BOE bikes in fifth, for 19th on the grid.
Stefano Nepa was one place further back. The early session leader but dropped after the fast pack on track worked together for the progression slots.
Guido Pini had been fastest but had his lap cancelled for hitting the green paint, that elevated Quiles to the top spot, with the 17 year old falling immediately after as he ride the kerb at turn five, looking for an advantage.
Without the group to work with for a tow, an extra run could only take the rookie to seventh in Q1, so the Dynavolt bike will fill the 21st spot on Sunday.
Marcos Uriarte (24th) is now the replacement rider for Matteo Bertelle with Level Up - MTA, as Perez returns to the MLav team in a straight rider swap between the two outfits since Aragon.
