We show that a suitable weak solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on ${ \mathbb{ R}^3\times(-1,1)}$ is regular on $\mathbb{ R}^3\times(0,1]$ if $\partial_3 u $ belongs to $M^{ 2p/(2p-3),\alpha } ((-1,0);L^p (\mathbb{ R}^3 ))$ for any $\alpha >1$ and $p\in (3/2,\infty)$, which is a logarithmic-type variation of a Morrey space in time. For each $\alpha >1$ this space is, up to a logarithm, critical with respect to the scaling of the equations, and contains all spaces $L^q ((-1,0);L^p (\mathbb{ R}^3 ))$ that are subcritical, that is for which $2/q+3/p<2$.
