Since no one else has mentioned it; the depth of pour is important. ...don't think that 2" tall section will be enough (rebar or not) ...I would guess that 10+ ought to do it.

Also, the weakest region will be where your pour interfaces with any existing curb. That's where you want to (if you're OCD about cracks) put any reinforcement ... "dowels" relatively short chunks of #4 rebar bonded into existing, prior to pour.
