Race for the early edition (5)
I believe the answer is:
relay
'race' is the definition.
(relay race)
'the early edition' is the wordplay.
'early' can be anagrammed to 'RELAY'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for relay that I've seen before include "supplementary store of anything" , "article in bank" , "Broadcast" , "Hand, pass on" , "track event" .)
