I never lead out here - check:

1. you don't have the best hand 99% of the time
2. there's 4 others on a draw-heavy board - you're not folding everyone
3. you don't want to pay two bets to see the turn (if it's two coming back you're probably folding, but have to call if you bet and get raised)

The key is that UTG is the most likely guy to raise and we may have a better hand than him.
We might not get everyone to fold, but we could very well fold hands we want to fold. If 96 coldcalls it's not a big deal, but if A7 folds because they're facing 2 cold that's a huge plus for us.

I don't have that much faith in UTG raising our flop bet anywhere near often enough to make this play - but it's an interesting view
