Check the whois for the domain again and see which registrar it’s registered with.Then go to the name’s registrar and see if they offer a backorder service – for instance,if the domain’s registered with Godaddy then use their backorder/name monitor service there.
If the registrar itself does not have a backordering service then try snapnames.com,namejet.com,pool.com or other domain catching services and put in a backorder.A word of warning though,if your desired name is in any way a sought-after name,the professionals will grab it before you do or it’ll be put into a domainer bidding auction.
Best of luck!

Also bare in mind that even though there is an expiry date there is a high likelyhood the current owner will renew the domain name. Once the name expires it goes into a redemption period where the owner can still renew it and once that time passes quite often the domain may be backordered. If you really want the domain it is best to contact the owner rather than waiting and hopping that it drops and you are the successful registrant once the registration period is open again.
