Simplify a fraction of vectors and matrices of form $\frac{b^2}{a\cdot c}$

How to simplify or reduce $$\left(\frac{\left(\mathbf{1}^\top\mathbf{\Sigma}^{-1}\boldsymbol\mu \right)^2}{\mathbf{1}^\top\mathbf{\Sigma}^{-1}\boldsymbol{1} \cdot \boldsymbol\mu ^\top\mathbf{\Sigma}^{-1}\boldsymbol\mu }\right)$$

whose terms can be grouped as $\frac{b^2}{a\cdot c}$ if it helps any. Here are the dimensions of the vectors and matrices for some integer $N$:

  • $\mathbf{1}\in \mathbb{R}^{N\times 1}$ is a vector of ones
  • $\boldsymbol\mu \in \mathbb{R}^{N\times 1}$ is a vector of real values
  • $\mathbf{\Sigma}\in \mathbb{R}^{N\times N}$ is the covariance matrix

I'm also interested in the steps towards reduction.
