His win in the Wood was so visually impressive because of the trouble he overcame that it is easy to overlook what he beat that day.
IWR also has twice lost to POTN who incidently happens to have a four race win streak coming in. The dirt is the wildcard. We know IWR loves it. We can't say for sure that POTN will. However, from all accounts he has trained wonderfully over it. I see no reason that he won't continue his winning ways saturday.

He has trained well over it but has yet to have that same dirt kicked in his face
