I've not tested your code, but apparently it should be working. As default selected option, you should define it with the third argument in the $form->select[1]. In your view, give a pr( $this->viewVars ); to see if your predefined options are really being passed to the view.

Well, I use the the $form->select('MyModel.field', $myoptions) prepopulated normally[2]. Best regards.
