28ac Pushing hard into second, struggling to get to Cambridge? (5) t?e?k
Please parse the following:
10ac s?a?e?o?r = stage door
5dn There's a shortage in food under poor leader in Middle Eastern city -- soup (8) ?a?p?c?o = gazpacho
8dn He brave -- or she, it's suggested? (5,5) ?r?z? h?r?e =crazy horse I can see that horse is an anagram of or she but how do you get the crazy?

[jim360]

clue to 10a ?

[jim360]

for 8d crazy is an anagram indicator, so it's a backwards clue: crazy horse = or she.

5d (gaza about p[oor]) + cho(w)

[catsrcool]

Sorry clue for 10ac is: Model dares to go for opening in the theatre (5,4)

[factor-fiction]

anagram (indicator being the instruction 'model') of 'dares to go'

[jim360]

dares to go is an anagram of Stage door, then, "model" is the anagrind.
