setting default value in dynamic select element

Question

I have a select box:

<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
  <form>
    <select ng-model="aSelect"
      ng-options="i for i in range">
    </select>  
  </form>
</body>

The range is specified in the controller as [1,2,3]. How do I set one of these values as the selected value? Plunker can be found here: http://plnkr.co/edit/2HjvYVEqkslGNSsErXr2?p=preview

Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Use ngInit:

<select ng-init="aSelect = 1" ng-model="aSelect" ng-options="i for i in range">
</select>

how does this work when the first item in the range is not 1?
