Dual Group I winner She Will Reign ran an encouraging second in her first trial back from a spell at Warwick Farm on Monday and will soon be joined in the Gary Portelli stable by her her rising two year-old half-brother that was purchased from the Magic Millions Yearling Sale last week by Darby Racing/De Burgh Equine/ Portelli Racing for $325,000.
She Will Reign was in the opening heat of the morning, over 800m on the course proper, and cruised into second behind Marc Conners' speedster Super Too.

She Will Reign's second trial is scheduled for January 29 at Randwick before her raceday return in the $250,000 Inglis Sprint (1100m) on February 10 at Warwick Farm, where a clash with exciting Victorian sprinter Nature Strip is likely.
The yearling half-brother to She Will Reign from Courgette was offered by Yarraman Park and is from the first crop of Snitzel's ill-fated Group II winning son Time for War, who died after just two seasons at stud.
