Rizzitano thinks Black's best after 5. Bf4 dxc4 6. e4 is a straight transposition to the Vienna QGD with 6...Bb4 7. Bg5. If Black wants to play dxc4, he could have done it on move 4.
I am not impressed by 4... Nbd7. While it is unclear if 5. cxd5 cxd5 6. Bf4 is any better than a normal Bg5 Carlsbad, Black is already giving up the option of playing the Alatortsev move order (3... Be7), the option of playing the Tartakower amongst others. That's too much to give up just to avoid 5. Bf4, unless Black is already well versed in say, the Cambridge Springs.
Gelfand-Graf Plovdiv 2003 is a good demonstration of White's prospects after 5. Bf4 anyway :
