Yes it is possible but not guaranteed. It will be tight as you will not be able to try until 7 PM on Monday, so yo may need to be at the airport or near by when you try.

SDC fee is $331 for that flight.
So it does not make sense to pay the SDC price.
If I keep checking and get lucky, is there a chance for SDC without fee? Or is SDC fee pretty much set for this flight and there is no chance of change?

Sounds like there is a fare differential (G to W) and an SDC fee(?). If your original fare class opens up, you can SDC without a fare differential.

You can't SDC across two separate reservations. Not permitted
