The Norm Loy-trained mare is destined for the breeding barn after running in the $22,000 Benchmark 58 Hcp, (1200m).
Falling Waters was a winner at Albury three starts back and was also placed on her home track at her most recent start.
Tomorrow will be the first time Falling Waters has raced on another track apart from Albury since arriving at Loy's stables late last year.
Loy said his mare gets into another winnable race and was optimistic she could retire on a winning note.
"She hasn't raced anywhere besides Albury because she hates being in a float," Loy said.
"So she is going to head-up in Donna Scott's truck.
"She has to lump 62.5kg but she has won with the weight before.
"I've had a bit of a look at the radar and hopefully the rain stays away.
"A soft track will be perfect for her but she does seem to struggle a bit in the heavy going."

Falling Waters is being sent to stud to be crossed with Alabama Express.
The daughter of Turrfontein has had eights starts for Loy for three wins and two minor placings.
Falling Waters will be reunited with regular jockey Brodie Loy after claiming apprentice Julia Presits was aboard last start.
"Brodie has been aboard in all her wins and knows the horse well," he said.
Tomorrow's meeting was rescheduled from Albury to Wagga by Racing NSW stewards last week amid concerns of the border closure.
