Don't suffer fools gladly (must try harder!)

One of my commutes involves a road (single lane in each direction) that terminates in a T-junction with traffic lights and an ASL box which has the usual entry lane on the left-hand side.
Once or twice I've filtered into the box in the approved manner, only to find that the lights change from red to green as I'm doing so, with a consequent risk of being left hooked before I can get over to the RHS.
What does the conventional wisdom recommend in these circumstances:
i) enter the ASL box on the right, while watching for right-turning traffic should the lights change?
ii) enter from the left, but pause to allow left-turning traffic past before proceeding?
iii) don't enter the ASL box at all, but stay in primary in the queuing traffic?
