The Perfectly Ready filly has been handled patiently by Ashburton trainers Daniel Champion and Kezia Murphy, who first started her over 1200m at Oamaru last July before putting her aside.
''We just wanted to get a 2yr-old run in to her for education,'' Murphy said.
''She's bred to stay.''
The 3yr-old reappeared at the races at Waikouaiti on New Year's Day, but Murphy explained her eighth at Waikouaiti and seventh at Ashburton were well short of her best distance.
''She needs ground, so the first couple were just experience and getting her race ring craft, and then she went a super run at Ashburton [on February 10] for second.''
Luck deserted Angel Falls at Timaru on February 23, but a barrier draw of 2 today for the 1600m race should be a big help.
''She just got trapped three wide the whole way at Timaru and was just unlucky,'' Murphy said.
''She should just get a nice cosy run in behind the leaders and hopefully she can do the job.''
Ashley Frye combined with Angel Falls for her last three runs, but her fall at Ashburton last Friday which has left her in an induced coma meant Champion and Murphy had to find another jockey.
Murphy contacted Aidan Rodley, the agent of Waikato rider Rory Hutchings, who confirmed the talented apprentice was making the trip to Timaru.
''It's absolutely tragic what's happened with Ashley and we're all thinking of her, but we got on to riders pretty quickly once we knew she was going to be out of action and we're pleased to have Rory on.''
The dead track suits Angel Falls well, as her second at Ashburton came on a similar surface.
Murphy can't wait to get the filly over even more ground.
''She's definitely going to go 2000m . . . we'll see if she's strong enough at this stage,'' Murphy said.
''The further she goes, the better she'll get. She's got a really nice staying pedigree on the dam's [Scenic Design] side and she's starting to get over a bit of ground now.
The training duo have three runners engaged at Riccarton on Saturday, and Murphy picked out Ryan John in the rating 75 2000m as their best chance.
''He won nicely at Timaru then got a bit too far back and held up at Wingatui. He's stepping up to the 2000m which will really suit him.''
