Preflop and flop are good.

Turn is tough. With position I would fire away and check behind on the river. However, you don't have position so I would just check-fold the turn.

When nobody bets the turn it can be safely assumed that MP and CO don't have an Ace and that your hand becomes the favorite again. I think you have a value bet on the river or at least a check-call. Either would be fine as busted draws might take a stab.
