Bet this river?

[Rudbaeck]

I'm still not sure about betting for value against a river scare card. Coward play or correct decision here?

It seems to me that the scare card plus the possibility of a check raise by UTG is enough to turn this into a check by me. But I want to see what the gurus say.
