I guessed based on the mileage they wanted for the award. But since you asked, I checked expertflyer, and there are only 3 tickets for sale in PE on that day if I have my fare codes correct (W) and non in discounted PE (P). You can get a free trial to Expertflyer if you want to give it a try.

There are more seats available in J. You have time to become familiar with Seats.aero and you can set an alert for awards that day between LAX-SYD. Assuming you are wiling to cancel your revenue flight and get a voucher for it after you book your mileage award.
