Taking the free card on the turn is fine, however I think betting is better.

The reason is that you may take it down right there. If you miss on the river you're likely beaten, so a bet allows you a bit of fold equity right now. You've been the aggressor, so you have that edge.

I like the free card if you think you'll induce a bluff from an EP player and hopefully be able to raise a bunch of players if you hit. However, other than a little resistance early in the hand, the others have been pretty passive, so I can't really think a bluff is coming.

With this many players in, I'd prefer to bet it and either take it down or build a bigger pot for myself should I hit the hand.

The free card play is a great tool, but I think in this particular situation you have great equity with plenty of opponents who will pay you off.
