JAR OPS is written in English as well no brainier at all:
Isolated Aerodrome: If acceptable to the authority the destination aerodrome can be considered as an Isolated Aerodrome, if the fuel required (diversion plus final) to the nearest adequate destination alternate aerodrome is more than: For aeroplanes with turbine engines, fuel to fly for two hours at normal cruise consumption above the destination aerodrome, including final reserve fuel.
Let's do the math with A330, shall we? actual FPL was taken as ground.
1. ALT Fuel 6800 Kg + Final 2100 = 8900 Kg
2. Hold 2 hours =8400 Kg.
I leave the rest of conclusive brain work up to you.
With planned remaining of 10K don't see a problem there really neither to hold nor to divert.If you find a definition of isolated aerodrome in QR's part A, I'll be surprised. Whatever you do as long as land safely No questions will be asked.

Don't take it personally take it on the rocks!!!
