Derby's filly, kicking out every second, is a lure (3,3)
I believe the answer is:
dry fly
'a lure' is the definition.
(dry fly is a kind of lure)
'derby's filly kicking out every second' is the wordplay.
'kicking out every second' means one should take alternating letters (every second letter removed).
'derbys'+'filly'='derbysfilly'
The alternate letters of 'derbysfilly' are 'DRY-FLY'.
'is' is the link.
(Another definition for dry fly that I've seen is " Angler knows it's a fake".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
