Fritz seems to like black's chances.  I wouldn't assume a draw just yet.  See
evaluation below:

1...Kf7-e7 2.Ra2-a4 Nd4-c6 3.Rd3-d5 Rc5xd5 4.c4xd5 Nc6-a7 5.Ra4-c4 Rc7xc4+
6.b3xc4
1...Rc7-d7 2.Ke4-e3 Nd4-c6 3.Rd3-d5 Nc6-b4 4.Rd5xc5 d6xc5 5.Ra2-b2 Nb4-c6
6.Rb2-a2;
1...Kf7-e8 2.Rd3xd4 e5xd4 3.Ke4xd4 Rc5-e5 4.Ra2-a1 Rc7-d7 5.Kd4-c3 d6-d5
6.c4xd5;
