That's how I do it too David. The secret is to assign the "2nd time only" or "tacet 1st time" expression with zero setting to play on the *first* pass and place the hidden "Play" expression with normal setting at the end of the first time repeat, ideally assigned to a rest if possible.
However I would recommend using Controller 11 (Expression) rather than key velocity, because if you need to place any dynamics after the "2nd time only", you will lose your zero setting. You could also use Controller 7 (Volume) but properly this should be used for adjusting "channel pressure", for balancing instruments to each other, and not altered once set.
