But Here We Go Again's trainer, Jamie Gameson, thinks there'll be one major difference - the result.
Here We Go Again came to Forbury Park on November 20 after two hard runs at Addington during New Zealand Cup week, including a brave third to Helena Jet on Show Day.
''She was probably going down there last time tired,'' Gameson said.
''She seemed good and everything but she had two hard runs in cup week. We backed up the next week just thinking if we could win that, we might have gone north with her.''
The Mach Three mare failed to reel in Bettor's Brigadier over 2700m that night after sitting three back on the outside.
A similar pattern could unfold again tonight based on the barrier draws, with Bettor's Brigadier (barrier 7) inside Here We Go Again (barrier 9), but Gameson is confident three weeks away from racing could lead to the 6yr-old's 10th career victory.
''It looks like it'll fall the same way but if she ends up three back on the outside this week and the other horse [Bettor's Brigadier] leads up, I'd say we should overpower him, really,'' he said.
''This week, she should be a different horse. She has won down there going 2.41, so you would think if she brings that form, she really shouldn't be getting beaten.''
Here We Go Again's second at Forbury Park convinced Gameson to stay in the South Island rather than chasing Adore Me around Alexandra Park.
''I just thought there were easier options staying down here getting ready for the mares' races down here, rather than going up and taking on Adore Me a couple of times in Auckland.''
Her path for the rest of the summer could include runs at Addington, Omakau, Invercargill and back at Addington for the premier mares' championship and the group 1 New Zealand Breeders.
''This time of year she really starts hitting her form.''
While Gameson expects big things from Here We Go again, he is not quite as confident with Millions To Spare in the c0-c1 trot.
''He's just got to get things right but he's getting better and better,'' Gameson said.
''It's probably the weakest field he's come across in a wee while.
The field might not be big on depth, but it is big on numbers with eight c0 horses and eight c1 trotters accepting for the race.
''When the nominations closed, I thought it wasn't going to be too bad with only 10 or 11 in it, but now with a full field it's going to be a bit harder.
''He'll be thereabouts, but it's pretty hard off 30m over 2200m at Forbury. If he could run in the first three or four, I'll be happy.''
