I took a look at the solar system simulator and had the impression that at least Enceladus could allow some decent shots. (Enceladus: C/A (around 9:00 UTC) about 175,000 km, Phase 60°). And there are two more goodies! A few hours before C/A Enceladus will be in front of Saturn, allowing one or two more Kodak moments. And a few hours earlier (around 0:00 UTC) Cassini should get a glimpse of Enceladus’ leading heimspere, which has been poorly covered so far.

Shadow of a moon and the F-ring on Saturn's northern hemisphere:

I think could be Epimetheus, but not sure...
Anyway, here two composite images using MT3+MT2+CB2 filters:

Notes:
- start images are W00015663+64+65 and W00015666+67+68
- I introduced a shift in the shadow detail in order to match them without impact overall Saturn image
- overall color balance modified in order to have more visual realistic result in terms of overall hue (saturation is enhanced); consider, however, that start images aren't RGB, so result cannot be completely realistic.
