American Patriot (War Front), a close third in the GI Secretariat S. at Arlington Park Aug. 13, looks like the one to beat in Saturday's GII Commonwealth Derby at Laurel Park. The WinStar Farm homebred previously defeated He'll Pay (Haynesfield) and recent GIII Saranac S. winner Inspector Lynley (Lemon Drop Kid) in Delaware's GIII Kent S. July 16. Isotherm (Lonhro {Aus}) gets first-time Lasix in his third attempt off the bench. Last term's GIII Pilgrim S. winner was a close third in the Saranac Sept. 3. Revved Up (Candy Ride {Arg}), a son of the brilliant Phipps homebred Storm Flag Flying (Storm Cat), makes his stakes debut after two straight wins in New York.
