According to numberFire Racing's projections, these are the best bets to make today at FanDuel Racing.

#2 Papeete – Gulfstream Park, R2 (1:18 p.m. ET)

Papeete showed plenty on his first start, harassing the winner throughout before going down by a neck with seven lengths back to the third. He can make it second time lucky. Esperon makes his debut and has solid and consistent workouts on record. He appeals as best of the rest. Bet now at FanDuel

#7 To Thyself B True – Gulfstream Park, R6 (3:09 p.m. ET)

To Thyself B True returns to maiden company and will be hard to beat on these terms. Kara And Colleen returns after a break and has shown enough to entitle her to be in the mix. Mystic Sunrise is back up in class but also has claims on the strength of last run. Bet now at FanDuel

#12 Nottoway – Delaware Park, R7 (3:30 p.m. ET)

Nottoway represents a barn going great guns at present and must have a great chance in this low-level claimer. Litigant has run well in the grade before and can emerge second best. Therisastormbrewin can make the first three as well. Bet now at FanDuel
