The Netherlands lead the team standings with 70.250%, with Sweden in third on 66.583%.
Gregory admitted she had been disappointed with her below-par performance.
"I am cross with myself," she said. "It is very much inward frustration as I thought I could put him (Lucky Star) up to the scores we want.
"He probably read a little tension in me."
