Sizing a breaker for 10 HP RPC idler

I have this 10 HP 3 phase motor that I want to use as an idler.

This will be in a self starting capacitor start RPC. The motor will
start without load.

My question is, how to properly size a circuit breaker for the 240V
single phase circuit.

By the way, the subpanel in my garage is on a 60A breaker.

60 amps

What is the size for the load motors you plan on running with this?
