QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

10/1/26 QF106 HNL-MEL Q9, 4 pax in economy - Success! No award availability and I wasn't confident given peak season and potential blackout period. Pleasantly surprised!
 
Mr SS junior needs a one way SYD - SCL on QF27 in the 7 days or so from March 4. Y is fine. Mrs SS (WP) is not in a position to call at the moment and request a CR seat. There is plenty of C+. Is anyone able to guess if a request for CR is likely to be successful on any of those dates?
