I just finished this piece, I played it in a local competition, I didn't place but I did pretty good.   had the exact same problem that you are having! What helped me was to go through the part that was troubling me at a slower, more relaxed speed and then speed it up staying relaxed as I went. Like bouncing my wrist.
This may not be the best advice but it's what helpd me. Oh, you don't want exaggerate the bouncing wrist at a fast pace that will just make it worse. You start slow with more exaggerated motion and then as you get faster it gets less noticable Hope it helps!
