Draw cover for anti-racist leaflet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attract

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'draw' is the definition.
(I know that draw can be written as attract)

'cover for anti-racist leaflet' is the wordplay.
'cover for' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'anti' becomes 'ant' (synonyms).
'racist leaflet' becomes 'tract' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'racist' bit.).
'ant' with its centre removed is 'at'.
'at'+'tract'='ATTRACT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attract that I've seen before include "Exercise a magnetic influence" , "Draw to oneself" , "Behave like a magnet" , "Exert a pull upon" , "Arouse interest of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
