Good Morning! Hope these few clues will give a little pleasure. J

I set crossies just for pleasure. I wonder if some of you excellent regulars would like to try a few of my clues? Since they're new, no letters!

Please withhold solutions till 5 pm (GMT) to allow others to have a go.

1. A wrong to right (4)
2. Are these bogs held for landings on enemy shores? (10)
3. Extremes of economical odds taken at mid-morning (7)
4. Foreign buy out exuberantly devised (8)
5. To sum up the ultimate condensation? (2,3,4)

Just dropping in here now and then to have another look, but having more trouble than usual. Got 1 right off, no doubt have the wrong answer for 2, and the one that sprang to mind for 5 may be an Americanism, though it actually works. I'll give Joan a call...
