Yep.
Tactics and pace are always extremely huge factors in determining outcomes.
The ideal scenario for I'll Have Another is simply that every horse goes out and is ridden to run its best race by jockeys who aren't trying to ride or force the hand of other horses.
If that happens, and I'll Have Another is healthy and holding form, he's simply not going to lose.
The only two riders in a position to take I'll Have Another out of his game are the jocks on Paynter and Union Rags. Those two jocks are the humans who have the most control in this race.
They will be acting and I'll Have Another's jockey must be able to do a fair job of judging the pace and react.
