Opportunity coming in first (7)
I believe the answer is:
opening
I believe this is a triple definition!
'opportunity' is the first definition.
(I know that opening is a type of opportunity)
'coming' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'in' acts as a link.
'first' is the third definition.
(similar in meaning)
(Other definitions for opening that I've seen before include "Window of opportunity" , "(Official) start - gap" , "Gateway - opportunity" , "Beginning; breach" , "- - time (pub)" .)
