CITY SELECTIONS CLIPSHAM TIGER bounced back to form when narrowly denied over a mile at Newcastle earlier in the month and he is likely to go well once again off the same mark. That said, Laurentia should not be underestimated having gone close over this course and distance two weeks ago, while Marie Paradis and Kodimoor are the pick of the remaining field.
