Moles, who has taken over from John Bracewell as the national coach, was in Dunedin last month leading Northern Districts in a first-class match against Otago at the venue.
The match was marred by poor weather but Moles thought the pitch was too dry which made scoring runs at a good clip a challenge.
"I think a bit more carry to the keeper would be good.
"If they can get the wicket the same as it was for the Bangladesh test I think it will be a good cricket wicket," Moles said.
The University Oval pitch came in for criticism ahead of the January test against Bangladesh when a four-day match between Otago and Auckland concluded inside two days.
Auckland coach Mark O'Donnell suggested it was dangerous and someone could get hurt.
The fears proved unwarranted with the pitch proving to be a good surface.
"All I'm aiming for is the same as the last test wicket which had good pace, good bounce and lasted," groundsman Tom Tamati said.
Despite heavy rain on Tuesday evening, Tamati was pleased with how the preparations have been going.
"We had a lot of rain, 18mm in about 2 hours. But it hasn't really hampered me too much.
"I got on top of the rolling and started it a day earlier because I saw the long-range forecast.
"So I'm pretty much on top of the rolling and the prep [preparation] is going well."
Ideally, Tamati would like a couple of overcast days followed by bright sunshine to get the pitch into the best possible shape.
Tamati explained it was better to roll the surface when it was overcast so as not to draw too much moisture out of the pitch.
