Megalithic (13/8), Kassaya (5/2), Mythical Composer (6/1), Pont Neuf (8/1), Blinky (17/2), Amerjeet (16/1)

Two thirds newcomers, and KASSAYA makes a whole lot of appeal, being a half-sister to several winners, including Chaldean, and fetching 1M gns as a foal. Megalithic is another interesting newcomer, while Pont Neuf should go well even under a penalty.
