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].
