Gregson, renowned for his formidable kick, stayed composed at the back of the field before blitzing home in the final 250m for automatic qualification.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew if I waited out the back and stayed out of trouble, I was only going to be 5 metres from the front and I was. I just waited,\u201d said Gregson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt great and I was within myself at the end. I\u2019m looking good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Australian record holder raced with control, showcasing his medal potential as he eased up at the finish line for 3:43.06 behind Kenyan winner Timothy Cheruiyot.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the final throws at Gregson, he is prepared.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old, who sports a personal best of 3:31.06, will draw from his countless experiences in championship racing when he takes on the best in the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d be surprised if it\u2019s slow, The Kenyans probably learned a bit with the Olympic final two years ago that if you make it a slow race, it opens it up. So, I think it\u2019ll be quick,\u201d Gregson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready to race if it\u2019s fast and race if it\u2019s slow, I\u2019m ready for both scenarios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-26610\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GC2018_007-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GC2018_007-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GC2018_007-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GC2018_007-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GC2018_007-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GC2018_007-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/runnerstribe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/GC2018_007.jpg 1210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After finishing seventh in heat one, in a time of 3:47.08, Luke Mathews had written off the possibility of a finals berth.
