News Limited's Ray Thomas reported on Monday that the filly had suffered an injury and would be out of action until next Autumn.

"Estijaab has got a problem and is out until the autumn,'' co-trainer John Hawkes said.

"We are taking no risks with her, she's too valuable a filly, so she will go back out for a spell.''

"I'm confident she will be fine and we will get her back in the autumn."

Estijaab had recently been given an easy time when finishing fifth in a barrier trial at Rosehill on August 7.

It adds to an average start to the spring for Team Hawkes who also have their other star, Chautauqua under a huge cloud of racing again after repeatedly refusing to jump from the gates.
