Yeah I don't think a second referendum is a slam dunk at all for Remain. The advantage it'll have is I suspect the youth turnout will be a lot higher. It was higher for the General Election and it's unlikely they'll be so apathetic this time. Corbyn himself I think is partly succeeding because young people are angry.
But on the other hand the act of calling the referendum itself might spark a reaction. The Vote Leave people are think of 'Tell them again' as a slogan by some polling that's been seen and will lean heavily into the story of their vote being ignored by the 'elite'.
