Oops, things are happening very fast right now. Didn't refresh to see the
replies from Martin. His variations are correct + look at my last reply
to his post. There you have the variations needed, I think. In short, after
1.-Qxa5 2.Qf6! white's threats are so severe that black has to take out
the draw via perpetuals or permit white to do the same.
