NARRATIVE
Let-down (B): Won "Final" 07-13 at Iasi — 0-2d → LETDOWN by rule, but same-tournament
Final preceding a 1/16 round = qualifying final; carrying momentum into main draw,
not a peak-then-crash spot. Signal discounted to weak.
Venue: B is 2-0 at Iasi this week, both DOM. A: no Iasi history in window.
Title recency (B): Iasi (qual) 1d ago, clay; French Open (ITF-level event) title 05-21.
VERDICT: PASS
The +5.8% flag on Bulgaru is ELO-only; ML (18.1%) agrees with the market.
Qualitative read runs hard AGAINST the flagged side: Bulgaru is 2-11 with losses
to sub-1500 opponents, while Pridankina is in DOM form at this exact venue.
The nominal letdown signal is a mislabeled qualifying final — no independent
validation for the dog. Alt markets: none priced. No bet.
