Howe is set to have two strong chances at Menangle features next week after recent success.
Hows The Memory, who Howe bred and owns with wife Jo, qualified for the group one Ladyship Mile after taking out the group two Sibelia Stakes at Menangle on Saturday.
After drawing barrier one, Howe thought it made plenty difference for the daughter of Group one winner Distant Memory.
"It was super," Howe said.
"It comes down to draws when you get in that sort of grade as she has been going good and still hasn't had a lot of luck lately."
Howe also enjoyed success with Breivika winning on debut at Menangle on Tuesday.
The two-year-old filly led all the way and is now targetting the group two Pink Bonnet.
Howe helped bring a number of other Riverina owners into the daughter of Somebeachsomewhere.
Both races will be run on February 29.
