Bottom set. Should i be more aggresive?

Blinds: t10/t20 (8 Players) MP+1: 3,000
CO: 3,020 (Hero)
BN: 2,970
SB: 3,010
BB: 3,000
UTG: 3,000
UTG+1: 3,000
MP: 3,000
UTG: 15/11 on 7k hands
UTG+1: 19/12 on 120 hands
Preflop (30) Hero is CO with 4 4
UTG raises to 50, UTG+1 calls 50, 2 folds, Hero calls 50, 3 folds
Flop (180) 7 4 9
UTG checks, UTG+1 bets 90, Hero calls 90, UTG calls 90
I dont think raising this flop is good because its kind of a dry board and if i raise im bsically telling i have a very good hand
I wanted that the UTG call with his A highs, pairs, etc
Turn (450) 7 4 9 J
UTG checks, UTG+1 bets 225, Hero calls 225, UTG calls 225
i`m not sure if i should be raising this to charge the flush draw. Otherwise im only beated by better sets and T8
I`m putting the UTG+1 on a J, flush draw, straight draw, sets
The UTG im putting on a J, flush draw, unlikely straight, set, two pair, maybe straight draw (dont think he would call 2 streets with it)
River (1,125) 7 4 9 J 5
UTG checks, UTG+1 bets 640, Hero calls 640, UTG raises to 2,635 and is all in, UTG+1 folds, Hero folds
Now that im beated by more straights and flushes, i see no point in raising here as most of the worst hands would fold.
When the UTG jams, im putting him on a flush as i dont think he would do that with a straight
Final Pot UTG wins 3,045

What you guys think? Should i be raising the turn? The other streets reasoning?

Thanks for attention

Well played.
If you do have a raising range on the flop, do it with some JTss,hh,cc-KTss,hh,cc, 65s same suits as a bluff and with top set + 97s (if you have it in your cc range preflop), for value.
You can add some more bluffs i.e A6s, A8s, ATs etc, but these should be enough to balance vs tourney regs.

Nice to add SPrince, my raising range there would be more like 56s, 8Ts, JTs. But interesting to add those others as a bluff and balace it with the value ones.
