It's fate (like Achilles' soft spot in foot), few run away (5,2,7)

A re-punctuation, if I may

It's fate, like Achilles' soft spot in foot. Few run away. (5,2,7)

Seen in cards and roulette (5,2,7)

Again, apologies for the delay. As usual, lots to like with some inspired definitions. I particularly liked skyewalker's opportune replacement and karma chameleon, tatter's Telefonica, Les's fiery and ixion and aristo and mattrom's wheel of(f). However, just losing out are the straight anagrams from fiery and BBM2 10 and 25 respectively to peterm's feel of war tune

The fickle finger, maybe, pointing to Spooner's impression of "Colonel Bogey " ?

Bloody predictatext, sorry tatter's Tele.

Congratulations peterm - thanks ginge.

Congratulations peterm - BUT could someone parse the clue for me?

Thanks Ginge for hosting

Excellent clue, peterm. Thanks for the mention, ginge.

pigale: Spoonerism is "feel of war tune". "Colonel Bogey" is a march.

Nice one, PeterM! Cheers, Ginge, for hosting and the mention.
