Maiden meeting one that’s lucky (6)
I believe the answer is:
mascot
'one that's lucky' is the definition.
I know that 'lucky' relates to this answer.
'maiden meeting' is the wordplay.
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'meeting' becomes 'ascot' (horse racing meeting).
'm'+'ascot'='MASCOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mascot that I've seen before include "World Cup Willie, say" , "Team's lucky person/thing" , "It's adopted by a team as a symbolic figure" , "One for good luck" , "Character or object used to bring good luck, or represent an organisation" .)
