If you can see on mid final that it looks like being a close thing, consider retracting the flap from full flap (if that is what you already had) to half flap. There may be a slight nose down pitch change but providing your approach speed is under control that is easy to counteract. With most light aircraft there is only 3-5 knots difference in stall speed between full and half flap but the reduction in drag can be significant.
