In amphitheatre, a sure spot for prizes (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treasures

'for prizes' is the definition.
('treasure' can be a synonym of 'prize')

'in amphitheatre a sure spot' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TREASURES' is hidden within 'amphitheatre a sure spot'.

(Other definitions for treasures that I've seen before include "lots of valuables" , "Values" , "Holds dear, prizes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
