Which functional group gets reduced first?

The following is a reduction reaction. In the reduction of 2 to 3, keto group undergoes reduction by nucleophillic addition.

Ester could undergo nucleophillic acyl substitution to give an aldo group, further reduced via nucleophillic addition again.

My question is, during such reductions, is keto group reduced first or ester group gets reduced first?
