A5o BB. Turn play

Blinds: t30/t60 (9 Players) UTG: 2,555
MP: 4,335
UTG+1: 6,091
MP+1: 3,480
MP+2: 3,474
CO: 3,810
BN: 4,573
SB: 2,905
BB: 3,863 (Hero)
MP: 15/10 on 450 hands
UTG+1: 32/17 on 5k hands
Preflop (90) Hero is BB with A 5
UTG folds, MP raises to 120, UTG+1 calls 120, 5 folds, Hero calls 60
I think defending with A5o can be tricky but im trying to improve the postflop play getting into more situations.
The hand has the added value of straights too
Flop (435) 6 A 3
Hero checks, MP bets 180, UTG+1 calls 180, Hero calls 180
Not much to say on checking versus the other 2 guys. The plan here was to call, keeping the pot small.
Im putting the first villain on Ax, air, sets.
The second villain on Ax, sets, some pairs
Turn (975) 6 A 3 5
Hero checks, MP checks, UTG+1 checks
Now that we turnered a very strong hand, the plan was to c/r because i thought that a lot of better Ax would barrel again here.
Plus there are straight possibilities that could fire again.
I thought that leading here would make the pairs in their ranges fold and those i could get a crying call on the river depending on the card
I probably wouldnt get a turn and river of value from some Ax
River (975) 6 A 3 5 4
Hero bets 420, MP calls 420, UTG+1 calls 420
Now that both checked, i decided to value the Ax that could be controlling the pot, some pair , worst 2 pairs
Villain 1 range: Ax, air, pairs, 2 pairs, unlikely straight (dont think he could open in that position with A2 a lot or the caller would call with that hand)
Villain 2 range: Ax, pairs, 2 pairs, slowplayed sets (unlikely)
Final Pot UTG+1 wins and shows three of a kind, Fours.
BB lost and shows two pair, Aces and Fives.
UTG+1 wins 2,235

What you guys think? Should a have leaded the turn? The bet sizing?

Thanks for attention and comments
