Reveals record, comes second? (9)

I believe the answer is:

discloses

'reveals' is the definition.
(disclosing is a kind of revealing)

'record comes second?' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'disc' ('disc' can be a synonym of 'record').
'comes second?' becomes 'loses'.
'disc'+'loses'='DISCLOSES'

(Other definitions for discloses that I've seen before include "Gives info" , "leaks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
