The Wagga trainer-driver usually watches on from the sidelines when his horses race but elected to take the reins back up with Say It Again.

And he produced a quality drive as Say It Again wove his wave past some tiring horses to take out the Platinum Power Pace (2270m).

"I haven't been driving but thought I'd just do it," Bryce said.

"I had a steer on him last week and he went nice, he hit the line good.

"I figured I might as well get paid for it than someone else."

It was his win driving win since September 2018, but he hasn't given himself many opportunities.

While the tactics worked out perfectly as Say It Again brought up his second win from 20 starts, Bryce didn't believe he had too many other options.

"I had no choice really and when they were walking I thought I had no hope but he has been going good," he said.

"He can get funny in his gear but I held him in."

Coming along the inside Say It Again ($5.50) went on to down Rodanthe Nights ($3.30 fav) by a half neck.

The six-year-old is owned by Bryce's brother Trevor.

He was pleased to get another win on the board for him.

Meanwhile Loorrim Lake finally broke through for his first win for Mirrool trainer-driver Stephen Maguire.

The three-year-old had been runner up in four of his last five starts, but finally managed to get there first in the Auswest Seeds Maiden Pace (1740m).

It was a tight finish but the son of Roll With Joe just managed to get there to deny Charlie Studleigh and trainer Jodie Ward their first wins.

A short half head was the difference but Maguire was confident he'd finally done the job.

"All this other runs were good and his run today was as good as them but this time he just stuck his nose out at the right time," Maguire said.

"I thought he got there but I thought we won two starts back too."

Loorrim Lake had been placed in 10 of his first 19 starts before taking out his first win.

Maguire thought he had been building up to it, showing more determination in his last few starts.

He was pleased to share in the winning owner and breeder bonuses.

"It wasn't all bad running seconds as he was earning while doing it but it was good to finally get the bonus and get him over the line," he said.

Maguire is hopeful for more luck with stable star Major Roll at Menangle on Saturday night.

While drawn poorly in the group three final, coming up with eight, Maguire knows if he can repeat last weeks effort he will in the finish.

"It's unfortunate we drew bad but someone has to draw there," he said.

"As long as goes as good as he can go then I will be happy.

"I thought he was super last week and if he can repeat that effort he shouldn't be far off them."
