  The extended Galileon models possess tracker solutions with de Sitter
attractors along which the dark energy equation of state is constant during the
matter-dominated epoch, i.e. w_DE = -1-s, where s is a positive constant. Even
with this phantom equation of state there are viable parameter spaces in which
the ghosts and Laplacian instabilities are absent. Using the observational data
of the supernovae type Ia, the cosmic microwave background (CMB), and baryon
acoustic oscillations, we place constraints on the tracker solutions at the
background level and find that the parameter s is constrained to be s=0.034
(-0.034,+0.327) (95% CL) in the flat Universe. In order to break the degeneracy
between the models we also study the evolution of cosmological density
perturbations relevant to the large-scale structure (LSS) and the
Integrated-Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect in CMB. We show that, depending on the
model parameters, the LSS and the ISW effect is either positively or negatively
correlated. It is then possible to constrain viable parameter spaces further
from the observational data of the ISW-LSS cross-correlation as well as from
the matter power spectrum.
