Because you don’t circle from MARND.
Minimums Category A-B are 1.25-1.5 miles.
That is CINOX.
Runway 7 slight sidestep to overfly the runway then turn right crosswind before reaching 11-29 then right downwind, base, final.
Runway 29 turn left downwind at appropriate distance.
Runway 11 either join right base or other wise follow runway 7 the turn 40 degrees right follow runway 11 then turn right crosswind and join the traffic pattern.

In any case for circling the Tower is required to be open, they’ll tell you to circle south.
If the weather is marginal VFR they’ll probably tell you to join a left crosswind for runway 11.
