Default PLO8: Flop top set -> Push on turn?

Party Poker $25 PLO/8 (8 handed) converter

MP ( $64.10 )
CO ( $13.41 )
Hero ( $35.93 )

Preflop: Hero is Button with 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 2 folds, MP calls, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds, BB checks.

I have a speculative hand in position after several limpers. This is the kind of situation where I like to call and see a flop.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> (Pot: $1.60)
BB checks, UTG checks, MP bets pot, CO calls, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG folds.

Well, I flop top set but the flop brings two low cards. So I'm likely playing for half of the pot, but the flop is pretty raggy so I'm not ready to fold just yet especially with the CO providing some dead money in the middle. So I call hoping to make my boat and/or re-evaluate on the turn.

Turn: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> (Pot: $6.40)
MP bets pot, CO calls, Hero raises max...

This card is a brick in my opinion and MP leads out with a pot sized bet. MP has me covered, and CO's call commits him to the pot. I almost surely have the best high hand at this point and my main fear is something like A24x to which my pot equity is about even at this point. With only one card to come, I figure I gain enough folding equity here to make jamming the right move here. Agree/Disagree? Does the fact that CO will almost surely call all-in change the strategy at all here so that it's better to smooth call the turn?
