City's dash, for example after victory (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

winnipeg

'city's' is the definition.
(Winnipeg is an example)

'dash for example after victory' is the wordplay.
'dash' becomes 'nip' (both can mean a small amount).
'for example' becomes 'eg' (synonyms).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'victory' becomes 'win' (I've seen this before).
'nip'+'eg'='nipeg'
'nipeg' put after 'win' is 'WINNIPEG'.

(Other definitions for winnipeg that I've seen before include "South Canadian city" , "where winters are very harsh" , "Large lake in Manitoba" , "somewhere in Canada" , "Canadian lake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
