I had a website with 2 domains like these: firstdomain.com and first-domain.com.

The main domain was first-domain.com and the other one was 301 redirected to first one. The main domain got a Google Penguin penalty some months ago. I uploaded the site on an new domain and removed Google index of old domain by using the remove URL tool in Webmaster Tools. Now, I want to use firstdomain.com (which was redirected to the penalized domain) for a new and fresh website with new and perfect content.

Is it probable that history of this domain affects the new website and harms its ranking?
