Chicago MDW Circle-to-Land

I'm looking for guidance for the Chicago Midway circle-to-land in VFR conditons procedures, ala, ILS 4R circle-to-land 13C. The maneuver is required since approaches to 13C cannot be accomidated due to KORD traffic flows.

What altitude is recommended, or normally used, for the circle maneuver? Field elevation is 600 ft MSL. The 4R ILS circle to landing minimums are 1180 ft MSL. Is pattern altitude, 2100 ft MSL used or the standard air carrier 1,000 ft. AGL circling altitude used?

Today's circle got interesting at 1200 ft MSL. I'm looking for advice here!

Thanks!
