What are my chances of getting on flight standby?

Hi,

I am flying to Anchorage, with a connection in Seattle, on Wed May 23rd. My reservation is for this flight,
UA1707 - Depart Seattle at 9.17pm, arrive Anchorage at 11.48pm.

I am hoping I can go standby on this earlier flight,
UA1566 - Depart Seattle at 1.35pm, arrive Anchorage at 4.06pm.

Can anyone tell me what are my chances of getting on this earlier flight, 50%, 90%? I am planning my trip, and reaching there at 4pm vs around midnight makes a big difference in the itinerary.

Thanks.
