Makes set race (7)

I believe the answer is:

creates

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

'makes set race' is the definition.
'creates' can be an answer for 'makes' (creating is a kind of making). I am not certain of the 'set race' bit.

'makes set race' is the wordplay.
'makes' indicates anagramming the letters.
'set'+'race'='setrace'
'setrace' anagrammed gives 'CREATES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for creates that I've seen before include "Complains" , "Brings into existence" , "Makes" , "coins" , "Produces" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
