Recommend toy as excellent (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
tiptop
'excellent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'recommend toy' is the subsidiary indication.
'recommend' becomes 'tip'.
'toy' becomes 'top' (top is a kind of toy).
'tip'+'top'='tiptop'
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for tiptop that I've seen before include "Very fine" , "First-rate" , "Jolly good, excellent" , "cracking" , "Informally excellent, very best" .)
