Ricciardo - now driving for RB - has endured an underwhelming season so far, failing to finish in the top 10 at any of the opening seven races.
He did, however, turn back the clock in Miami earlier this month, driving superbly to clinch fourth spot in the sprint race, before slumping to 15th in Sunday's main event.
Speaking to media including GPFans ahead of the showpiece event in the principality, Ricciardo talked up his chances of impressing on the street circuit as he targets a first points-finish of the season.
"I definitely come into the weekend with a genuine feeling of happiness, confidence and possibility," he admitted.
"I’m sure that after a couple of laps [in practice], I’ll be like ‘let’s f***ing turn it up a little bit’, and the confidence will start to build and the possibility of maybe [producing] an awesome [qualifying] lap on Saturday."
