She had front wraps last time too and managed to win. But that was a much easier spot where she got an easy lead in :49. Not only that but sometimes when a horse has an injury, they can hold the horse together as long as the horse doesn't have to run hard. After they run hard, they will often fall apart. I think the same thing happened with Flower Alley. Whatever problem he had didn't get really bad until he actually ran. Before his first race back, he was probably holding up reasonably well under light training. But after he had to run hard in that first race back, his injury probably got worse.
