I believe the answer is:

cupid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'divine archer' is the definition.
'cupid' can be an answer for 'archer' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'divine' bit.

'wins trophy on instincts' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'trophy' could be 'cup' (cup is a kind of trophy) and 'cup' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'id' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cupid that I've seen before include "Boy with wings, bow, arrow" , "Boy symbol of love" , "naked boy" , "Roman god of love, child archer" , "Blind god" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
