a la segunda va la vencida
Es una deformación del obvio "a la tercera va la vencida", pero se entiende perfectamente, se usa mucho e igual te vale para darle ese toque refranístico... :-)

segunda opción / otra vez
'Second bite of the cherry' appears to be almost as common as 'second bite of the apple'. (1160 and 1170 matches respectively on Google). Both phrases seem to mean the same thing. I.e. something along the lines of having a second go at something, perhaps with an underlying imputation that such a second chance is not really deserved, or that it is a bonus.
