Corey Brown will climb aboard the two-time Group I winner at 51kg.

She Will Reign has been the subject of a jockey merry go round with initial rider Ben Melham declaring himself unable to make the weight before Kerrin McEvoy, who rode the filly in last Friday's Moir Stakes win, announced he would honour a prior commitment made to the Peter and Paul Snowden-trained Redzel.

The booking comes after In Her Time, which Brown rode to victory in last Saturday's Premiere Stakes (1200m), was surprisingly overlooked for a spot in The Everest field.

With all 12 runners now locked away and most riders announced, final field betting has commenced on the inaugural $10 million event.

Barring incidents that would enforce scratching, the following 12 horses will face the starter at Randwick on October 14. Odds are courtesy of Sportsbet.
