Garlic mayonnaise: superior colloid used regularly (5)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
AI (superior), {c}O{l}L{o}I{d} [used regularly]. NHO ‘colloid’, but that was of no consequence here.

I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:

Handsome Wenceslas perhaps embracing ladies? (4-7)
Spooner's figurine of canine pet (11)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
Spooner might have said “Collie” (canine) “model” (figurine). Probably best not to delve too deeply into the origins of this word.

Fixed up mate with stock option (3)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
Another one I’m not entirely sure about. My best take is: TUP (mate with stock option – male sheep, ram ) reversed [up]. It’s awkward syntax, ‘option’ seems odd and I’m not very happy with ‘fixed / PUT’ as the main definition. ‘Fixed up / PUT’ might be a little better, but then there’d be no reversal indicator. Later Edit: TUP (mate) reversed [fixed up] Thanks to Kevin G and others for putting me right on this one. Collins has: put – also called: put option stock exchange – an option to sell a stated amount of securities at a specified price during a specified limited period. It’s No. 20 in their list of 20 meanings, and needless to say I never heard of it.

Despise officer losing heart after minor injury (5)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
ABH (minor injury), O{ffice}R [losing heart]. It shows how far we have fallen when assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm is clued in The Times crossword as causing a ‘minor injury’, but I suppose it’s a matter of degree and Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) is reserved for more serious injuries. Which reminds me of one of my bugbears that many newsreaders and commenters on current affairs insist on referring to Grevious (sic) Bodily Harm.
