So 1K gets your better chance than CO Plat? Can I change it after my first leg just so I can still try to get the SWU on the first CO leg?
It might be worth calling to try and swap your mileage UG for the SWUs. Or , worst case, keep watching, and if you see the R space open up, cancel and re-UG with SWUs.

Yes, 1K better than CO Plat on UA. And yes, you can change it after the first flight. You have 6 days in-between which is perfect, as 1K window is 100 hours.
