How to trap an anchor

Mike Corbett's book gives some valuable tips on trapping but I have not found any other good source of advice about how to trap. In the position below, should I just shuffle my free checkers and wait for a better opportunity, or should I try to trap now? If I try to trap, how should I do it? Can bot rollouts be trusted for this kind of decision?
