The Warwick Stakes has been earmarked for the return of Brilliant Light, one of the revelations of the Sydney autumn carnival.

Brilliant Light is scheduled to have a jumpout at Kembla Grange on August 11 before his likely return in the 1400m Group Two feature at Warwick Farm on August 21.

The Kerry Parker-trained gelding rose to prominence during the autumn with wins in the Group Two Ajax Stakes (1500m) and Listed Doncaster Prelude (1600m) before finishing a game third to Rangirangdoo in the Group One Doncaster Mile in April.

Parker said Brilliant Light would be aimed at the major mile handicaps again this preparation with the Epsom Handicap in Sydney and Toorak Handicap in Melbourne on the agenda.

The Warwick Stakes will be Brilliant Light's first test in weight-for-age company.

"When you've got a rating of 104 it's hard to find other suitable races (than weight for age)," Parker said.

"We came up through the grades last preparation and now we're there."

Brilliant Light put on 50 kilograms when he resumed from a spell prior to his outstanding autumn campaign and Parker said the gelding had done well in the paddock again.

"He had done tremendous the spell before which is what produced his last preparation," the trainer said.

"This time he put on about 34 kilos."

Stablemate Nextanix could also get the chance to chase some of the spring riches but Parker has a more immediate goal for him before that happens.

"The first aim is to win a maiden with him," Parker said.

"If he can do that then we can look at a few more things."

He said the Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) was a possible target.

Nextanix showed ability in the early part of winter racing, finishing strongly from back in the field on a couple of occasions into the placings.

After finishing fourth at Rosehill in June, Nextanix was given a three week break because Parker was keen to give him his chance at getting to some of the better races in the spring.

"He did super in the paddock," Parker said.

"I was really thrilled with the way he spelled. He was a really gangly and leggy horse but he's really grown into himself."
