The secondary focus of Utthanpadasana and that of Utthitapadasana are different. For the former it is the hamstring, pelvis. For the latter it is the stomach (the rectus abdominis and the obliques muscles of the stomach) and the alignment of chest and shoulder.
The primary focus of course remains the back and pelvis alignment with earth.
Breathing: As always breath in, while raising leg. Breath normally, deep and slow, while you are holding the pose for 20 breaths, and breath out as you bring the leg down.
