Stars $27 A9o in SB >12bb 5 players left

Stars $27 sng 5 players left. UTG and UTG+1 with ~1.5k both and button with 5k fold to hero in SB with 2.5k and A9o. BB has around 3k. Blinds are at 100/200.

What do you do here with A9o? Or with other good but not great hand like JT or K9.

I'm generally raising to 600-800 willing to take the pot preflop, but I wonder if this is just making the pot big with not so great hand out of position. I don't like raising to less than 600 because BB will have then nice odds to call with huge range. Pushing seems like a good move too?
