[Solved] Regular expressions: find specific hyphen

I have these kind of files:

14-Some Song.mp3
2012-10-Some document.odt
2012-10-03-Another document.odt
2012-10-03-Some document with another - hyphen.odt

I installed KRename and try to find and replace the hyphen after the the date/track number with empty spaces and a hyphen. The files should look like the following:

14 - Some Song.mp3
2012-10 - Some document.odt
2012-10-03 - Another document.odt
2012-10-03 - Some document with another - hyphen.odt

Other hyphens should not get touched. I don't get which regular expression I would use for find and for replace. For the mp3s I tried it with this:

^[0-9]{2}-

But what do I need to enter in the replace field? Any help?
